Patchouli Essential Oil
Patchouli oil has an easily recognizable rich, musky-sweet fragrance. It can have a grounding, balancing effect on the emotions while providing excellent mood support. Patchouli is also widely used for wounds and tissue repair, as well as in skin care preparations or with ussies with acne and eczema.

Dr. David Hill in discussing the properties of patchouli mentions Patchouli having more than 24 sesquiterpenes that allows this essential oil to cross the blood-brain barrier making it a very effective protector of the central nervous system. He also suggests it is effective, in combination with vetiver, for children with ADHD or autism and adults with Alzheimer’s or recovering from a stroke. His application suggestions are to apply a few drops to the roof of the mouth, the base of the skull, or the bottom of the feet or to simply breath the aroma of patchouli.   15ml bottle
